Ryan Smith, a real estate professional with RE/MAX Premier, finished 2025 ranked No. 1 in closed transactions and No. 2 in earned commissions among thousands of RE/MAX agents across Northern Illinois.

Smith’s 2025 performance was also recognized by leading industry organizations, including a 2025 Top Producer award from the Chicago Association of REALTORS® and Mainstreet REALTORS® 2025 Platinum recognition for sales volume and transactions.

“This is the result of consistent work, strong client trust and a lot of moving parts coming together,” said Smith. “I’m grateful to everyone who chose to work with me in 2025, and I’m proud to represent RE/MAX Premier.”

“Ryan’s results reflect what clients value most: clear guidance, responsiveness and a steady hand from start to finish,” said Janice Corley, CEO of RE/MAX Premier. “To lead Northern Illinois in closed transactions among thousands of RE/MAX agents takes discipline and consistency. We are proud of Ryan and grateful to the clients who helped make 2025 a standout year.”

Smith’s recognition comes during a period of continued growth for RE/MAX Premier. Over the past two years, the brokerage has expanded from its city roots into the western suburbs and across the North Shore, broadening its reach across Chicagoland. Throughout this growth, it has maintained a focus on local expertise and a client-first experience, backed by the power of the global RE/MAX network.
